Reference documents
When dealing with the installation and configuration of HPE ProLiant servers, the first approach
is to look at some reference documents:
The main Documentation for the SDR at http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/. The presentation
around HP ProLiant value add tools contains some command line examples. A copy is available at
http://fr.slideshare.net/eurolinux/hp-proliant-value-add-tools.
Some reference documentation pages available from HP web site:

Estimated time for the lab is placed in front of each part.
Environment setup
Estimated time: 10 minutes
SDR access enablement
The HP SDR is available externally from http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/
This Lab is performed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 distribution. As most of the content is
also available from the repository for other Linux distributions, you can run it as well (with due
adaptations !) on all the enabled distributions such as CentOS, OEL, Ubuntu or supported like
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.
You may want to use the add_repo.sh script provided there in order to setup your installation. For
that, download the file under your home directory.
You'll also need for RHEL additional packages not necessarily installed on the base distribution,
but which are brought by yum, providing you have a link to a Satellite server or a yum repository
with appropriate content.
This lab doesn't give all the commands necessary, as some aspects must be discovered by the
Lab attendees and this will help them learn more by finding themselves the solutions to the small
issues they may find. Could be lack of packages, Linux rights aspects, ...
Bug reports on this material welcomed ;-) Enjoy !

If you have issues running the add_repo script, consider rights of the script and required
dependency (lsb package typically). If the previous command doesn't output something, launch it
first without the | grep part. And if stk or hpsum repo do not work, then add them manually:
# cat >> /etc/yum.repos.d/HP-spp.repo << EOF
[HP-stk]
name=HP Software Delivery Repository for stk
baseurl=http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/stk/RedHatEnterpriseServer
/7.0/$basearch/current
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[HP-hpsum]
name=HP Software Delivery Repository for hpsum
baseurl=http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/hpsum/RedHatEnterpriseServ
er/7.0/$basearch/current
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
Then use yum to update the indexes with the new repositories. Check what has been created
under the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. Verify that everything is behaving as expected (hint:
yum search hp | grep -E '^hp').
From now on, the Lab is “à la carte” ;-) Which means you can take one of the following part at will
and try to do it
Note that depending on the RHEL version or the tools versions, the traces you can get may differ
in details such as version umber e.g.
Managing HPE ProLiant servers with the MCP
Command line management
Estimated time: 50 minutes
We will first discover what command lines utilities are available to manage HPE ProLiant servers
under Linux. These are gathered in a few packages:
# yum install hp-health hpssacli hponcfg
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.

Complete!
Now is time to use some of these commands to get information on your ProLiant Server
(Hardware logs, Blue Light), and also to modify its configuration:
# hplog -v | head
ID
Severity
Initial Time
Update Time
Count
------------------------------------------------------------0000 Information
08:28 05/28/2011 08:28 05/28/2011 0001
LOG: Maintenance note: IML cleared through hpasmcli
0001 Repaired
00:00 00/00/0000 15:01 07/01/2011 0001
LOG: System Power Supply: General Failure (Power Supply 1)
0002 Caution
14:39
07/01/2011 14:39
07/01/2011 0001
This command is similar to hpasmcli -s "show iml" | head.
# hplog -a STATUS
Current ASR Status is ENABLED and the timeout value is 10
# man hplog
ASR manipulation can also be achieved with the hpasmcli -s "show asr". Use the set
option to modify values
# hpuid
OFF
# hpuid
# hpuid
ON
# hpuid
-s
-e
-s
-d
# man hpuid
Similarly, UID manipulation can also be achieved with the hpasmcli -s "show uid". Use
the set option to modify values
# hpasmcli -s "show ipl"
IPL (Standard Boot Order)
------------------------#0
CDROM
#1
PXE
#2
HDD
IPL however can't be modified by hpasmcli. Use for that the hpbootcfg command.
# hpbootcfg -H
03 00: Harddrive first, normal boot process
# hpbootcfg -C
02 00: CD ROM first, normal boot process
# hpbootcfg -P

40 00: Normal Device first, one time boot to PXE
# hpbootcfg -D
00 00: Normal Device first, normal boot process
# man hpbootcfg
You may want to verify the new configuration by rebooting the server. Another command will be
detailed later on to modify fully the boot order from the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.
# hpasmcli -s "show asr"
ASR timeout is 10 minutes.
ASR is currently enabled.
# hpasmcli -s "disable asr"
Successfully disabled ASR timer.
# hpasmcli -s "enable asr"
Successfully enabled ASR timer.
# man hpasmcli
We'll now interact with the Insight Lights Out component on the server with the hponcfg utiliy.
# hponcfg -g

<DNS_NAME VALUE="ILOCZ3223LAA2"/>
[...]
Now we'll use the same command to modify the value of the DNS name of this iLO board, after
we removed the account info which would create a problem.
# perl -pi -e \
's/DNS_NAME VALUE="ILOCZ3223LAA2"/DNS_NAME VALUE="MyPersonaliLO"/' \

# grep DNS_NAME /tmp/ilo.xml

script.</INFORM>
[...]
Please wait while the firmware is reset. This might take a minute
Script succeeded
Check by logging to your iLO that the new name is now in usage. Or use hponcfg again.
Another way to interact with the iLO is to use the locfg.pl perl script available from the page
http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?
swItemId=MTX_3b1bbec7612f48408922ca1ecd and which allow remote modification of the iLO
configuration, providing you have the appropriate credential, which the hponcfg command
doesn't require as using the hpilo driver to dialog with the iLO board.
Finally from the command line, we will interact with the Smart Array Controller.

Look at the differences you get between the 2 configurations and make deductions about the
impact of stripe size on processing interrupts on your system. Change the parameters to see
more differences and pay attention to cache effects.

Estimated time: 10 minutes
We will now configure the SNMP stack and then install the client agent to query the snmpd
server.

You will now be asked a series of SNMP configuration questions. How you
answer these question will affect the way SNMP behaves. Configuring SNMP

to answer a question, you can abort by pressing <Ctrl-c> and no changes
will be made to your SNMP configuration.

You can now explore the MIB to get values specific to HPE ProLiant servers.
# snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost SNMPv2SMI::enterprises.232.2.2.13.1.1.7.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.2.2.13.1.1.7.1 = STRING: "BladeSystem c7000

Since April 2015, HP is delivering firmware update under a package format (RPM for now). This
will be the new preferred format for delivering firmware update going forward. You can use the
latest hpsum (starting with 7.2.0) to deploy them as the simplest way.
